Behaviour of piles in liquefiable deposits during strong earthquakes
Soil liquefaction has caused major damage to pile foundations in many previous earthquakes. Pile foundations are relatively vulnerable to lateral loads such as those from earthquake shaking; during liquefaction this vulnerability is particularly pronounced due to a loss of strength and stiffness in...
